Default 1993 Notch and wheel hop

Hey guys, I just joined this website today because I have recently bought a 1993 Mustang notchback. It has hoosier sticky tires on the back, they still have tread. But it has really bad wheel hop whenever I spin them, and I feel like I might break something when it does that. I just wanted to get your opinions about what you think it could be, tires, suspension, etc. Thanks for any input guys.

things that can cause wheel hop are faulty control arm bushings, quad shocks, bad shocks, incorrect pinion angle and so forth

could be bad shocks, and tubing up your stock lower control arms will help.. or just buy some tubular lower arms.. did that in my notch with some kyb's agx's and solved my wheel hop..
